2 for 1, and 1 for All – Just4FunCrafts

I am so excited for the La-La Land Crafts release!!! This adorable In the Garden Marci stole my heart and the Oopsie Daisy background stamp made me squeal a thousand times!!! I was so excited to play with these and couldn’t wait to show them off. Check out what I did!

Are you wondering about the 2 for 1 in the title of this post? I took sweet In the Garden Marci‘s hair and cut it off!! WHAAAAT?!?! That is right, two looks for one price. See picture below. Don’t you love it?

Let me make a public announcement…the card stamp you see above has been gently and carefully altered without drawing or changing the original stamp! You will be pleasantly surprised to know you get 2 for 1 price!

Creating the Card

I love the look of black and white and knew that with the Oopsie Daisy background this would be the perfect time to do a mono-toned card creation.

After coloring up In the Garden Marci I hand cut her out. She was placed on the Nested Frame with pop dots to make her stand out. Originally I had colored the Tulips in red (for color pop) but decided I would repeat the background stamp by cutting out some of those flowers and adding them to her bouquet. This brought together a little more cohesion to the card front.

I embossed the Oopsie Daisy rubber stamp onto white cardstock using my yummy Jet Black Nuvo embossing powder and this gave it a nice shiny crisp designed background. Using the Scalloped Rectangles I built up the layers for the front of the card.

I embossed the sentiment from Oopsie Daisy onto white cardstock and then creatively used the largest die from Long Flag die set to create the stitches on the sentiment layer. Next I added Flower Bunch to the bottom of the sentiment layer as well as the Mushroom and Grass border to the top (cutting off mushrooms). I finished it off with some hand cut flowers from the background stamp. The centers of the black flowers even have a little bling. Yummy right?
